Private Jet Charter Comparison
How the NetJets Experience Surpasses Private Jet Charter Flights
NetJets maintains and operates the world’s most diverse fleet of private jets, offering our Owners unrivaled access to state-of-the-art aircraft through a variety of customizable programs. This business model is decidedly different—and more advantageous—than that of private jet charter providers, who operate (and sometimes own) a fleet of aircraft for public use.
Choose NetJets Rather Than Charter a Private Jet
Exceptional, Reliable Travel
The NetJets fleet offers more than 10 aircraft types across five jet classes, enabling you to select the ideal jet for every journey. And we continue to grow our fleet responsibly, welcoming factory-new private jets to enhance your worldwide access.

Compare
The differences between NetJets and charter providers are evident. Private jet charter can result in travel and aircraft inconsistencies, as each private jet charter provider has its own safety and service benchmarks. As you evaluate both NetJets and charter providers, consider what is most important to you, your family, and your business.
